turns out the GOP budget bill adds so much to deficits that it will automatically trigger cuts to Medicare (not just Medicaid). Older voters unlikely to be happy about this when word gets out democrats-budget.house.gov/news/press-r...

Remember; you're automatically a better creator than any person who uses generative AI in any of their works.

fucking WILD that Pegasus is only confirmed dead at this point, imagine hanging on to the thin thread that he might come back and ESPER ROBA cuts it

I admit that GenAI and chatbots feel scarier to me than NFTs and crypto, but thankfully it's looking like they're on track for the same fate 👍

this is only adjacent to the topic but I really hate the "this person will kick cancer's ass" style of discussion about illness. cancer is a tsunami. you might get lucky and survive it but you don't fight it. you get lucky enough to catch it early, and to have a cancer that we can treat, or not

the word for this is not "some form of email changes"

MIIIIIIITEEEEEEE

"Do boycotts work?"

To anyone who complained about Krypto jumping on an injured Superman in that one trailer, let it be known that I pulled something in my shoulder while playing with my own dog today and I don't think he even realized it and kept insisting I throw his squeaky stuffed duck for him. It's realistic.

Hell yeaaah! My new phone case got here! Did the design myself! And I got my old phone case design as coasters. :>

hi, cis folks! if you’re calling democratic reps about the maga murder budget, you should *specifically mention* it’s unacceptable to pass a bill blocking funding for lifesaving transition care FOR TRANS PEOPLE OF ALL AGES. if you want to stand with trans people, this is a big moment. 🧵 reps.fyi

I had a lot of fun making this standee for best goth bunny gal @synicalbeanical.bsky.social. And just sayin': if any Vtubers out there want me to make merch like this for them, hmu. 😎✨

"Three senior law enforcement officials" from which agency? It certainly may be true, but this administration lies regularly. Don't believe anything so incendiary until it's confirmed independently.

Netflix was the only place here that offered the original theatrical mono for the Gundam movie trilogy, the US bluray uses the later 5.1 remix which has an entirely new voice track recorded for the old DVDs with an older cast (and some recasts), and a vastly different soundscape and OST placement.

This was all done around the time they were building hype for Hathaway. Reminder that Hathaway still has not received a physical release outside of Japan after nearly 6 years due to Netflix getting involved with streaming rights here.

Good morning !

So basically the FBI immediately characterized the fertility clinic bombing as an attack on Christians, but then the press saw the bomber's manifesto and it turns out he was just a regular nut. Expect more of this under Kash Patel's leadership.

Thinking about that time I showed an ex the bonus picture drama for 0083 on the BD that promotes the manga, and her going “OoooOOOooo” for the modern version of Cima to then immediately dry heaving and coughing five seconds later when modern Bask Om shows up.

The GOP snuck a Medicaid ban for adults and minors on all gender affirming care and procedures into the budget bill tonight. Call your reps and tell them to stop this!

This is my OC she’s Russia’s greatest love machine

We've been waterboarded by advertisements for so fucking long that some of y'all have forgotten search was near perfect in 2018ish, and then Google switched their results algorithm to prioritizing ads and SEO keyword bloating.

Like Kamala Harris on the campaign trail- "We will follow the law"

We need to teach you fuckers how to STEAL goddammit. We used to be good at this stuff.

i asked about this exact scenario last week and i think lawyers told me this book is public domain now

I fucking love Stevie Nicks for this

NO ONE FUCK WITH ME THE NEW TAMAGOTCHI HAS MOLMOTCHI THE GUINEA PIG TAMAGOTCHI

A cashless world is where your money is not yours. Your government can freeze your accounts, make it impossible to support yourself. And there is nothing to protect you against that. Fascism

Tokyo has lodged a protest with Israel after the Israeli military fired what it called warning shots at a group of Japanese and other diplomats visiting the West Bank.

🎩SCREAM SCHEDULE🎩 Back to our regularly scheduled LA Noir! I've decided to stream Assassin's Creed Syndicate instead of Hundred Line as Hundred Line is just too long for my style of streams.

they left... the fucking prompt they used.... to make their fake book... in the final draft.......

Character voice in localization is something that seems so minor but it's also super important. The differences between "Wait a sec," "Wait a minute," and "Wait a moment." might feel pedantic but it's the kind of thing you really need to consider on a per-character basis.

i keep seeing people say that LLMs are good at search. NO. WRONG. You have just forgotten how good search used to be. Google broke it's own flagship product, and so you are accepting a demented chatbot's half baked gishgallop because we no longer have functional web search.

Anyway

So I watched the first episode of Jujutsu Kaisen and so far my understanding is this is like if Yugi Moto had Goku's vibes and was stuck in Bleach.

Every now and again I reflect on our Charlotte's Web GBA game we produced at Backbone. It was an action platform game that had Wilbur leaping around on platforms. We referred to it internally as "Pig of Persia," in honor of Prince of Persia, the game we absurdly based it on.

Just to remind people as Microsoft tries to establish its own narrative and games news picks up on it: The AP, Guardian, Dropsite, and others found thru leaks Microsoft tech and consulting has been used during the siege on Gaza for mass surveillance. Some uses are unknown due to air gapped devices.
